Pros

The department I work in perpetually evolving depending on what the market is doing and often exciting. Given the ability to interact with strategic suppliers as well as executives of each Brenntag location, travel occasionally, learn as much about the business that I inquire about. Given the ability to have flexible work hours when needed and my direct managers have always been supportive both professionally and personally. Overall I have learned A LOT working here, more than another place I have worked and have been rewarded for my hard work. I am pleased to still be working here. Brenntag has always been involved in the community and are open to new opportunities for involvement.

Cons

There is always room for improvement and many of the cons I have seen over the last 5+ years are starting to be addressed. Some of those cons are professional advancement and interview to hire process is very slow. Need to work on appealing more to the younger generation (IE: flex time, working remote, career path planning, advertise community involvement and communicate job opportunities that are open across the globe).

Pros

Co-workers are great. My boss is great. Days go by so fast. Always something to do.

Cons

Health insurance could be better. HSA plan. However, I hear most employers are going in that direction now anyway.
